Trump fumes at ‘stain’ on Norway after missing out on Nobel Peace Prize

Following the announcement of Navi Pillay as the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, President Donald Trump criticized the decision during a campaign rally in Syracuse, New York. Trump described the award as an 'indelible stain' on Norway, the country where the independent selection committee is based. The President asserted that he deserved the prize for his efforts in international conflict resolution, while criticizing the committee as 'radical ideologues.' Pillay, a former UN human rights chief and judge recognized for her work in international law and genocide prosecution, responded to the news with humor, jokingly suggesting she might share the prize with Trump if the audience continued to applaud.
